        Welcome to my page. My name is Karen Gutierrez and this year I am teaching fifth grade at Anthony V. Ceres Elementary School. I have been teaching here for 24 years! This is my second year teaching fifth grade. I have taught third and second grade and have also serviced students from kindergarten to fourth grade as an intervention teacher.
        I am very excited to have your child in my class. I am looking forward to a fantastic year in which we can work as a team to help your child succeed! I believe all children are special and all have the potential to achieve their goals!
        It is important that you ask your child about their day. It is also very important that you check their homework folders and planners each night to assure that your child is completing assignments and to keep up with classroom and school news.
        At home, have your child practice math facts: adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. It is also important that your child read 20-30 minutes each night! Ask them to explain what they read about!
       If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to reach me. My email is the following:
